This week we’re tackling gut health. It’s a huge subject, but with Farzanah’s guidance we get into just how powerful the gut/brain axis is and how to create a more robust microbiome that will support your immune system.
Farzanah Nasser is a Nutritional therapist and certified functional medicine practitioner. She works with women with autoimmunity hormone imbalance with a special interest in the gut microbiome.
Enjoy! Ineke
